Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is a 1971 children's science fiction/fantasy book by Robert C. O'Brien, with illustrations by Zena Bernstein. The novel was published by the New York City publishing house Atheneum Books, which has been owned by Simon & Schuster since 1994. This book was the winner of numerous awards including the 1972 Newbery Medal. Ten years following its publication, the story was adapted for film as The Secret of NIMH (1982). The novel centers around a colony of escaped lab rats–the rats of NIMH–who live in a technologically sophisticated and literate society mimicking that of humans. They come to the aid of Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse who seeks to protect her children and home from destruction by a farmer’s plow. The rats of NIMH were inspired by the research of John B. Calhoun on mouse and rat population dynamics at the National Institute of Mental Health from the 1940s to the 1960s. After O’Brien’s death in 1973, his daughter Jane Leslie Conly wrote two more sequels to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. (en)

Calhoun sur la dynamique des populations de souris et de rats au National Institute of Mental Health des années 1940 aux années 1960.
